list of ways to enjoy family movie night at home

I am a big fan of movies.  We went to very few movies when I was growing up, but that was partly due to the fact that movies could only be viewed in the theatre or  if you waited long enough for a movie to come out with commercial breaks on a network.  Once we got a VCR player at my house (I think I was in middle school), I was hooked.  Luckily, I found a guy who has the same passion for movies that I do.  Our first summer married, we were poor college students but still managed to spend over $200 on movie rentals from Blockbuster.  Once we started to have children, we still enjoyed movies at home, but mainly we watched them after the children were in bed.  However, when the children were old enough to sit still through a feature-length movie, we knew it was time to share our enthusiasm.  My friends all know that Friday night has become sacred family time at our house.  For the past 5 years, Friday has been our family’s Pizza and Movie Night.  We wake up on Friday with the giddy knowledge that we’ll be chowing on our favorite pizza and journeying to a new world that very evening.

New Feature Announcement: My Folders

If you’d rather read:
I am excited to announce a new feature to members that will really make organizing your lists much easier. Until now, there has been no good way to organize the lists that you create in your account. Take a look at the screen, where I’ve set up an example of how to use the new My Folder feature to organize your lists.

Now, you can search for the list you need both in Browse and in My Lists! Read More: https://goo.gl/LY7o9d
